Yes, I have encountered this problem, without the help of external modules it is impossible to fix it.

I am not interested in any menu state Lua issues. It is not meant to be used at all.

I looked a bit into it, and internally it seems to work fine as it loads the file and takes up the memory for it, but it never frees it.
I noticed that the GarrysMod::Lua::Libraries::File::AsyncCycle function is missing, so I'm guessing that this is the reason why it doesn't call the callback and free the memory.

The menu state isn't meant to be used, but some might want to do something in it and file.AsyncRead can become really useful.
